Professor Rebecca Giblin, Director of Melbourne Law School’s Intellectual Property Research Institute of Australia, has spent 15 years thinking about how we can do a better job of supporting creative workers and promoting access to knowledge and culture. Join Rebecca in conversation with Clare Cunliffe as they speak about the ways in which increasing corporate concentration hurts artists, how Australia’s new national cultural policy might help, and other interventions we can make to help ensure creative workers (and the rest of us) share more fairly in the rewards of our work.
